  • Publication number: 20250218282
    Abstract: A system for correcting an attitude of a structure having one or more jacks affixed about the structure and operable to change the attitude of the structure. The system includes a remote device and a controller. The remote device includes a multi-axis digital sensor that is configured to measure an orientation of a selected portion of the structure at which the remote device is placed, and a processor configured to determine an adjustment of the one or more jacks based on the measurements received from the multi-axis digital sensor. The controller is in wireless communication with the remote device and configured to cause adjustment of the one or more jacks in order to change the attitude of the structure into a desired attitude based on data indicative of the adjustment received from the processor.

  • Publication number: 20250164125
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for evaporative cooling control. In one implementation, a humidity setpoint is received for a designated space, and at least one atmospheric condition of ambient air is received. The at least one atmospheric condition is measured using one or more ambient air sensors. A performance prediction of an evaporative cooler is generated by calculating a set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of supply air leaving the evaporative cooler based on the at least one atmospheric condition. The humidity setpoint is compared to the set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of the performance prediction in a setpoint comparison. A flow of fluid is controlled over evaporative media using one or more pumps of the evaporative cooler. The flow of the fluid is controlled based on the setpoint comparison such that the humidity setpoint is prevented from being exceeded.

  • Patent number: 11625692
    Abstract: One or more devices, systems and/or methods for generating waste profiles are provided. For example, a graphical user interface may be controlled to display a waste profile interface. A request to generate a waste profile associated with waste may be received via the waste profile interface. The request may comprise waste parameters of the waste. One or more waste information databases may be analyzed to identify data records associated with the waste parameters. The waste profile may be generated based upon the waste parameters and the data records. An electronic waste transfer request, comprising the waste profile, associated with the waste, may be transmitted over a network connection to a second device associated with a waste facility. An acceptance message indicating that the waste facility accepts the waste or a rejection message indicating that the waste facility rejects the waste may be received from the second device.

  • Patent number: 8957737
    Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention provide improved methods and circuits for generating millimeter-wave oscillations. Generating millimeter-wave oscillations may involve providing a semiconductor device comprising at least two terminals and a polar heterojunction formed from two semiconductor materials. A voltage bias may be applied to at least two terminals of the device in which the voltage enhances a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) layer at the polar heterojunction and produces a sharply-peaked but spatially-localized electric field within the 2DEG with a large longitudinal component, wherein the longitudinal component of the electric field serves as a nucleation site for a plurality of propagating dipole domains observable as a plurality of self-sustaining millimeter-wave oscillations.

  • Patent number: 8809912
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a heterojunction bipolar transistor comprising an emitter, a collector, and a base. The base can be disposed substantially between the emitter and collector. The base can comprise a plurality of alternating type-I and type-II layers arranged to form a short period super lattice. The type-I layers can have a band-gap that is narrower than the band-gap of the type-II layers. At least one of the type-I layers and the type-II layers can consist essentially of a quaternary material.

  • Patent number: 7161170
    Abstract: An InGaAs/InAlAs-based avalanche photodetector provides high gain and high bandwidth over a range of operating biases. A graded transition region alleviates the barrier to electron transport from the absorption region to the multiplication region when an operating bias is applied. The graded transition region is a graded bandgap material with a relatively wide bandwidth in the region closer to the multiplication region and a relatively narrow bandgap in the region closer to the absorption region. In another embodiment, a p-type dopant profile is introduced within the absorption layer to produce an electrostatic field which accelerates electrons towards the multiplication region. In another embodiment, a bi-level multiplication region with a wide bandgap ternary layer and a narrower bandgap quarternary layer is provided at an increased thickness to improve gain per unit length.
